Here ends the journey across the Danakil desert, the hottest and inhospitable on Earth.

We leave the Afar, this proud and free people, and their camels … It’s “goodbye” time.

The Ethiopian trip is far from over. After the heat in the Danakil, we will get some freshness in the Ethiopian highlands… See later on this blog !

Salt extraction on the lake Karum. The salt is loaded on camels (100-120 kg) and then transported on the Ethiopian highlands to be sold.
